She forgot her wallet. It was sitting on the table near the front door and when she came back in to grab it, she heard a struggle. The sound of banging against wood and drywall coming from upstairs. She ascended with caution, afraid to find a burglar or escaped convict. Her worst fears played out with each step. Her husband would be dead or incapacitated. The intruder, on seeing her, would take a different prize. The thought brought her to tears, but she needed to know and kept going, taking each step and holding the railing in a death grip.
